Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

When Zu Mao heard that Lu Su came to see him, he hurriedly asked his personal guards to invite Lu Su in.

Lu Su came in and saw Zu Mao's injuries. He said with concern: "Gong Jin is worried about the situation. The general is just worried about the war and expressed different opinions. Why is it so serious?"

Zu Mao held Lu Su's hand and said, "Zhou Yu has insulted me too much. If I don't take revenge after my injury heals, I will not be a real man."

Lu Su advised: "General, you are joking. Gongjin is the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, second only to the emperor and above millions of people. Even if you have resentment in your heart, you can only endure it."

Zu Mao said angrily: "Patience? What is tolerable? Even if Zi Jing doesn't come to see me, I will visit Zi Jing another day. Zi Jing was originally entrusted with an important task by Liu Huangshu to negotiate peace, but who knew that Zhou Yu would not abide by the etiquette and force Zi Jing to stay in Jiangdong. How is this behavior different from robbery?

I have received great kindness from the Sun family. Even though Uncle Liu once saved my life, I never thought of surrendering to him. Now Zhou Yu not only humiliates me, but also wants to kill me after he wins.

If I don't go to seek refuge with Uncle Liu at this time, how will I have a chance to survive?

I plan to send someone to contact Uncle Liu as soon as my injury heals. Then, with the help of Uncle Liu, I will be able to chop off Zhou Yu's head.

But I am a general of Jiangdong after all. If I go there rashly, I am afraid that Uncle Liu will become suspicious and cause me to make mistakes.

I would like to ask Zijing to write a letter to Emperor Liu, explaining the process of Zhou Yu insulting me, so that Emperor Liu will no longer have any doubts. "

Lu Su's expression was calm, and he did not express any reaction because of this sentence.

Zu Mao continued, "Zi Jing, don't you believe what I say?"

Lu Su replied: "I have never doubted your intention. I have a letter that may help you."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he took out the letter from his bosom and put it in Zu Mao's hand.

Zu Maoqiang opened it and read it, and was overjoyed.

"With this letter from Zijing, this matter will surely be twice as effective with half the effort."

Jiangbei, Liu Yu’s camp.

Liu Yu was sitting quietly in the camp when Gan Ning came in from outside.

"My lord, we just found a fast ship that came late at night and was captured by soldiers. He said he was Kan Ze, the military advisor of Jiangdong, and he came to visit my lord on the orders of Zu Mao."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "In that case, please come in quickly."

After Kan Ze was brought into the tent by Gan Ning, he saluted Liu Yu.

Liu Yu asked, "Why did General Zu send you here?"

Kan Ze replied, "General Zu was saved by the blood transfusion from the Emperor's uncle at Hulao Pass, and he has always been grateful for the Emperor's uncle's kindness. Now, he was beaten up for no reason by Zhou Yu in front of all the generals. General Zu could not bear the humiliation, so he specially ordered me to deliver a letter to surrender to the Emperor's uncle. I wonder if the Emperor's uncle will accept it?"

Liu Yu replied calmly: "Where is the letter now?"

Kan Ze took out the letter from his arms and presented it to him.

Liu Yu opened the letter and read it under the lamp.

Mao received great favors from Sun, so he should not have second thoughts. However, judging from the current situation, if the soldiers from Jiangdong were to fight against a million-strong Chinese army, they would be outnumbered, which is known to everyone in the country.

The officers and officials of the Eastern Wu, regardless of their intelligence or stupidity, all knew that this was impossible.

Zhou Yu is a young man who is shallow and ignorant. He is conceited about his own abilities and wants to fight a rock with an egg.

In addition, he abused his power, punished innocent people, and did not reward his merits. Mao was an old official, and he was humiliated for no reason, and he hated him very much!

In front of Hulao Pass, Mao received a blood transfusion from the emperor's uncle to save his life. He was grateful for the favor and could not repay it.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, Mao is willing to lead his people to surrender, firstly to repay the emperor's uncle for saving his life, and secondly to achieve meritorious service and avenge the humiliation.

Food, fodder, and military supplies are offered on board. I shed tears and kowtow, and do not doubt me.

After reading the letter, Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "At the beginning, the reason why we were able to defeat Dong Zhuo's elite troops in front of Hulao was not because of the elite soldiers, but because of my planning. These things have not been over for many years. Could it be that General Zu has forgotten them?"

"The emperor's uncle is very wise and resourceful. General Zu has always admired him very much. How could he forget it?"

"Since he has not forgotten, why did he use this crude self-torture trick to humiliate me? I wanted to kill you, but killing you now would be a bit of a degradation of my status. I will not kill you, and you can go.

Go back and tell Zhou Yu and Zu Mao to wait in the camp. Once I have trained the troops, I will march into the camp and capture them."

Kan Ze was shocked. He had heard that Uncle Liu was extremely wise and resourceful. When he saw him today, he found that it was true.

With just a few words, he could see that Zu Mao's strategy this time was a self-torture tactic.

Although he was frightened, he did not leave, but laughed loudly in the tent.

Liu Yu asked, "Since I have seen through your plan, why don't you leave quickly? Why are you still smiling?"

Kan Ze said slowly: "I dare not laugh at Uncle Liu, I just laugh at Zu Darong for not knowing how to judge people."

"Why can't I recognize people?"

Kan Ze responded solemnly: "Zu Darong has always been grateful to the emperor's uncle for saving his life. It is this deep friendship that prompted him to resolutely abandon the reputation of loyalty and come to you, the emperor's uncle!

But who could have thought that you, the Imperial Uncle, only glanced at the letter and immediately questioned our sincerity in surrendering.

I would like to ask Uncle Liu, what exactly do you rely on to assert so confidently that this is a carefully planned self-torture trick? "

Liu Yu had no expression on his face and replied calmly, "Anyone who sincerely chooses to surrender will definitely specify the date of surrender in the letter they send.

However, this letter does not mention any specific date at all. Doesn't this indicate that there is something fishy going on and that this is a treacherous plot?"

Kan Ze said solemnly, "Zu Darong originally intended to clearly agree on a specific date for action in the letter, but he was worried that he would not be able to achieve his goal at this critical moment. If he acted too hastily, he would end up making things worse, and his plan would definitely be discovered by the shrewd Zhou Yu!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu lowered his head slightly and fell into silence, as if he was carefully considering these words in his mind. Time passed by minute by minute, and after about half an hour, he slowly raised his head and slowly said: "What you said makes a lot of sense. It seems that I really didn't think it through enough this time."

Seeing this, Kan Ze hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and added: "Zu Darong and I have long admired your kindness and virtue, and we know that you are a rare kind and righteous person in the world.

We both sincerely submit to you, just like a baby crying for food longing to be in the warm embrace of its parents. So please do not have any doubts, Uncle Liu!"

After listening to Kan Ze's words, Liu Yu pondered for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha… If that’s the case, it seems I was worrying too much!”

Laughter echoed in the room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
